Raising Finance
We have extensive knowledge and contacts within the banking sector to assist you in raising finance for your business.
Whether this is as simple as funding a new piece of plant and equipment, a multimillion pound group funding, or even the funding of an acquisition, we have extensive knowledge to assist you in structuring a deal with a finance provider.
We would sit right alongside you ensuring you fully understand the offers you have received from the finance providers and how this would interact with your business.
Forecasting
Businesses need to ensure they have the right level of funding at the right time, therefore forecasting is an important tool within a business to ensure there are no unexpected surprises.
We have extensive knowledge in assisting businesses and their owners with forecasting the cash requirements of a business, using both traditional and cloud-based reports. This ensures that business owners have as much information as possible to plan ahead and take early remedial action, whether that means a change in direction or raising additional funding to support a growing business.
We ensure that we work alongside you to understand the business and the cash cycle to ensure the forecast is as accurate as possible, and then continue to support you through the forecast timeline adjusting advice according to the actual results.
MBO
Helping clients through a management buyout (MBO) can be a tricky time for the exiting or reducing shareholders, together with the management team entering or increasing ownership. We use our extensive knowledge of past transactions to advise clients through this process, ensuring the transaction is as painless as possible for all concerned.
We often plan these transactions years in advance with our clients, putting appropriate planning and structures in place while working collaboratively across corporate finance, accounting and tax.
We build a team with the key stakeholders of the MBO transaction, ensuring there is clear communication and trust on all sides. We strive to understand the goals for all parties from the outset to structure a deal that is achievable and, more importantly, right and affordable for the ongoing business.
Acquisitions
Our experts are ready to assist you through the acquisition of a business; whether that be a new venture, an addition to the group or a strategic acquisition, we are well placed to guide you through the process and minimise the disruption to your existing business.
We would assist and drive the due diligence process, and report to you on the target to minimise risk and advise on the most tax efficient structure for you to acquire the business. Working with other trusted advisors, we can complete the transaction in the most efficient manner.
Depending on the individual requirements of each acquisition, we put a bespoke package in place as agreed with you, with a focus on minimising any risk.
Selling a Business
Selling your business is one of the most important times throughout your tenure of ownership of your business. This time will be extremely challenging, and we would be right behind you, guiding you through this process while supporting you with the continued management of your business. Selecting the right partner is crucial to minimising the impact this process can have.
We work extremely closely with both you and your business to ensure that we understand the needs of both to put a plan in place to steer you through the ups and downs of the transaction roller-coaster.
Our internal team, including our tax experts, work collaboratively to ensure you maximise the sale of your business, connecting with your trusted legal team until the transaction is concluded.
